Edit the DOCTYPE in topic and map templates
After you set up IXIA CCMS Desktop to recognize your custom topic and map shells when importing content, you need to edit the topic and map templates to include a DOCTYPE that references those same shells for new content that you create within the CMS. These templates live in Repository/system/templates/topics and Repository/system/templates/maps. Depending on your system configuration, there may be additional subfolders.
CCMS Desktop is now set up to use the correct DOCTYPEs when you create new content.
Test each of your topic types and map types to be sure that you can create all of them without errors. You should be able to create a new topic or map, edit it, save it, and release it.
If you are using the IXIA CCMS Output Generator, you now need to integrate your custom plugin into it. For instructions on integrating specializations in CCMS Output Generator, refer to the section on integrating specializations.
